Money Issues

my finace and I have noticed, that our bank account has frequently been overdrafted. We deposit money in and we still go negative.

We are like most americans living paycheck to paycheck and I dont understand whats going on.

I was wondering if anyone is having problems with thier money just vanishing.

I hate to state the obvious, but check your statement ASAP. Check online, at the bank, at the ATM - wherever you can get a statement the quickest. Compare against your receipts and manually keep track of every penny you spend. Either you're spending more than you realize, or you'll find out where it's going.

Dude, I don't even have money.. I just started work at a local casino and get to see lots of it, but I have none thus far..

It's truly bad when people see credit and loans as "money".. or even see money as money, because it is truly debt.

I dunno man.. I just wish money would go away and never come back again.

yea im not keeping my money in a bank right now...

although i dont know if it hurts or helps... i just didnt want it vanishing like u say yours is. i dont even know what to do with money right now.
for real, im wigged out.

edit: typos... sunday drinking.

I have a bank with free online banking, checking, and bill pay. It has proved invaluable to me. You can check your funds, every debit, every transaction at home 24/7.
